Why not do both? Though I have to say that if your parents are leaning toward law for its relative practicality, it ain't all it's cracked up to be from what I've heard. Choosing a less expensive education with more practical applications might leave you more time to nerd out with your bad self.

Bingo. See also: nursing. My mom has a caregiver for approximately 30 hours a week, and most of these CNAs are also in school going for their BSN. I've heard some pointed comments about how there is going to be giant glut of nurses--many of whom seem to be choosing the profession largely for its putative job security.

I had two nurses in the extended family, it's a very emotionally and physically demanding job with a high burnout rate so even if you get in, it's a good idea to have a back up plan.

There won't be a real glut. Nurses burn out too fast.

You may be right. And I get the distinct sense that there is a sort of Gresham's Law about who burns out first...it's not a happy thought.

I very much agree with this, especially since there's currently a glut of people out there with law degrees. The market is flooded, and there aren't enough jobs, and there are all these 20-somethings with 6-figure debt who thought they were choosing a "safe" degree/profession. Unless someone sincerely loves it, it's really not at all practical right now.

OP, the people saying you shouldn't choose your path based on what your parents want. You're the one who will have to live with it, not them. Making them happy in the short-term at the expense of your long-term fulfillment isn't worth it.
